Courtyard cafe — Restaurant in Tasman

Ordered the dumplings, received 6 dumplings with cases the width of a palm, but filling at most the size of a finger nail. Mostly air.

We are visiting from the UK and stopped here for lunch on Sunday. The staff were all lovely, so friendly and helpful.

Everything that I have tried on their menu was delicious (the dumpling soup is to die for), well portioned and a good price. Thank you and keep up...
